The Rocket Papers - An Alan Becker Fan Story

Instructions

Chapter 6 *BLOOD WARNING!!!* Yellow had successfully flew and landed the aircraft at the coordinates given. "It's just a field. What's so special about it?" The Second Coming asked. "This field is far enough from that place to keep you kids safe." The worker replied. "I still have questions." The Chosen One interfered. "Who are you? What's your name?" He asked. "I..." The worker struggled to get the words out. "I don't have one..." TCO looked at him like someone told him that Alan was a stick figure. "You have to have a name. Everyone does. Like me, Yellow, and The Second Coming." He said. "Who's The Second Coming?" TSC asked. TCO had the same expression as before. "You don't know your own name? Have you been calling yourself Orange this whole time?" He asked a bit harshly. TSC nodded. The Chosen One walked around in a circle in disbelief. The worker didn't have a name and TSC didn't know his! It was absurd to The Chosen One. "Whatever. Just don't forget that name of yours. And you! Weird worker guy... We need to get you a name." TCO declared. He took a good look at the worker before going to Yellow and TSC for a suggestion. "Some shade of gray maybe... Cadet! Like Cadet gray!" Yellow said. "I like it. But I have a question of my own now; Why didn't I have a name?" Cadet asked. "And why do you look like every other worker at the facility?" TSC added. "Cadet do you bleed?" TCO asked. Everyone looked at him in shock. "I never checked..." Cadet answered. "How do we f-" Before the poor man could finish his sentence, The Chosen One took a sharp piece of metal and cut open a small part of his skin. Instead of red blood pouring out, there was black oil, like what was used for robotics. "I'm... Not real..?" Cadet asked sadly. He looked hopeless and miserable learning this. "Now we know why you look identical to all the other workers and why you didn't have a name." TCO said. "I'm sorry Cadet..." TSC said, mourning with him. "We'll figure something out! Right?" Yellow said. TSC put his arm around Yellow. "Yeah. We will." TSC said with a smile. Green woke up on a couch in someone's living room. "WHAT?!" He shouted. Purple stepped back. "You're okay!!! I'm so happy Green!" She said. "Purple what happened?" Green asked. "You must have fainted from exhaustion." King Orange said, walking into the room. He had a cup of tea in his hands and gave it to Green, who was now sitting upright. Green looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was now 9:36 at night. "How long was I out?" he asked. "About three hours." Blue answered. Green took a sip of his tea. "You kids should get to bed. I have more blankets and pillows in Purple's room for all of you." King Orange said. Red, Green, and Blue followed Purple into her room, which was decorated in Sailor Moon, Minecraft, and Pokemon merch. "Wow. Your room is very..." Red commented. "I know. It's super girly!" Purple said sheepishly. There was lots of room on the floor for everyone to lay down on and still more room after that, somehow. "Green?" Purple asked. Green looked up from his blanket sorting he was doing. "You'll be alright?" She asked. "I think so." Green replied. It was quiet the rest of the night with everyone tuckered out. At 3:27 in the morning, Purple woke up. She looked around her room to see the color gang missing. There was a figure though. An orange figure. They had a hollow head with green eyes that glowed. "Orange?" Purple asked quietly. Orange stood there in silence. Purple shot up from her bed to realize it was just a dream. The actually time was 7:00 with her Pokemon alarm clock waking her up. Purple had to go to school today and couldn't be there for her friends. Once everyone was awake and had a light breakfast, Purple had to leave. "You can't miss one day of school? It's a Friday Purple!" Green exclaimed. Purple looked over at her father. "Well... Just this time. I'll help you kids out with whatever you need." He said. The group was excited until he said this one sentence; "Just stay in Purple's room when my girlfriend comes over tonight."
